WAGYU SMASH BURGER 🍔 . Want to become a legend at the grill this summer? Fire up some Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef. The quality and flavor are guaranteed to impress friends and family alike. This is some of the best beef I’ve ever cooked with, and it completely elevated my BBQ game. Every bite is juicy, tender, deeply beefy, and packed with rich umami flavor. Cooking isn’t just about the food — it’s about creating unforgettable memories with the people you love. Make Snake River Farms part of your next cookout and turn it into something special.” #TeamSRF #TheSRFexperience #burger #bbq

BEEF TARTARE. Love it or hate it? . Eating raw beef isn’t for everyone and I get it. I think it’s delicious and when done right it’s a showstopper. If you make tartare always use a high quality fresh beef like tenderloin or sirloin. Keep the meat very cold until it’s served. I like to serve it with a grilled or toasted baguette. This was so good! #beeftartare #steak #chefsofinstagram #fancy

SHRIMP TACOS, Salsa Verde, Mango Slaw 🍤 @snakeriverfarms . Simple, fresh, healthy, SABROSO!! Tacos are one of my favorite foods to make. These are packed with flavor and are perfect for Cinco de Mayo! FULL RECIPE below 👇 . Ingredients 1 lb Gulf Shrimp ½ purple cabbage ½ green cabbage 1 mango, sliced into thin strips 2 limes ½ white onion, sliced in quarters 6 tomatillos, sliced in half 1 jalapeno, sliced in half ½ bunch cilantro ½ teaspoon sea salt Butter Corn tortillas Crema or sour cream . Directions Preheat a cast iron or large pan over medium high heat. Add onion, tomatillos, and jalapeno. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes a side until you have some char and color. Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until well combined. Season with salt then add cilantro, and the juice of ½ a lime. Blend until well combined then pour into a bowl and place in the refrigerator. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp with a little olive oil and your favorite rub then set to the side. Heat a cast iron or large pan over medium high heat. Add a little cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once smoking, add the shrimp and don’t move it for 1 minute then flip. Add a knob of butter to the pan and cook for another minute. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set to the side. Using a mandolin or chef’s knife, cut the cabbage very thin. Add the cabbage to a large mixing bowl along with the sliced mango. Season with a good pinch of sea salt and the juice of ½ a lime. Gently combine. Remove some of the oil from the pan used to cook the shrimp. Warm up the tortillas in that pan for extra flavor. Assemble your tacos with a little crema, followed by salsa, shrimp, and slaw. Enjoy! #recipes #tacos #homecooking #foodreel #shrimp

Smoked Lemon Pepper Wings with Pesto & Caviar @traegergrills . One word, GAS! I fired up my new Traeger Westwood XL and got to work on these wings. Rubbed them down in @bearandburtons beef tallow, seasoned with @meatchurch Lemon Pepper and smoked em' at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Tossed them in a fresh basil pesto, dusted with a Parmesan rain, and luxuriously finished with Siberian Sturgeon Caviar. WOW. 🤩 . #wings #traegergrills #bbq #foodpornshare #recipes

FIRE, SMOKE, BEEF 🥩🔥 . I geek out when I nail a shot like this. I knew slow motion would be the most cinematic. The smoke, flames, and steak sizzling all add amazing details and create a mood. The lighting hit just right as I pulled the steak up into the sunlight. 🔥 @snakeriverfarms x @webergrills x @meatchurch . #steak #bbq #cinematic #grilling #foodpornshare

TALLOW FRIED EGGS, Bacon, Herb Salad. . Have you ever cooked eggs in tallow? If not, you need to give it a try. Not only is it flavorful but it has a high smoke point, allowing the eggs to shallow fry creating crispy edges (my favorite) 🤩 @bearandburtons #eggs #cooking #foodofinstagram #tallow #chefsofinstagram
